[@fgxraven]

Hey Mark hey Glen! Many months are passed😮 How are you!?🤓

[@fgxraven]

My favourite pet on this game is definitely the wolf 🐺☝️ I love the wolf since the legend of zelda twilight princess & afterwards more on beginning of the first season Game of Thrones The puppies ❤️✨ A big hug Be blessed brothers

[@SwitchUpYt]

Hey Raven, great to hear from you. How are you my friend? Glen

[@fgxraven]

SwitchUp I am fine😊 I had a lot of exams & a 6 week internship on a kindergarden Afterwards I had Vacation of 3 Weeks but spent 1 Full week as a volunteer on a Summer camp 😊

[@SwitchUpYt]

Excellent stuff. Great to have you back with us. Glen

[@kordejones3934]

Just picked this up on sale today! Had to search for the SwitchUp review like I do with all games I may purchase!

[@bizzzzzzle]

On sale for $4.99 atm, worth it?

[@janseendiguiseppiThomasMC]

Never played torchlight but I'm a huge fan of Diablo, champions of Norath, return of Norath and the d&d series. Just picked up TL 2 for $4.99.

[@teeonezee]

This review made me buy the game for $15 on switch sale. Good on you, mate.

[@gareth6956]

TeeOneZee if you haven’t already check out Diablo 3 on switch, you can get it for £30 on eBay and it’s great, it’s what torchlight is emulating.

[@KirbysBack]

It's on sale rn for $4 and Torchlight 3 is $5 🙀

[@franciscoechavarria2948]

Unicorn, i love seeing the fluffy guy walk around around, jam his horn into enemies, and the occasional sound effect.

[@SeeFoodDie]

Funny, I do the same after a few drinks 🍸

[@judesmith2579]

If there’s a cat in the game that’ll be my favorite. I always love having cats in any game because they are such weird and quirky critters. Bonus points if they animate a side hop!

[@jongrubbdesign]

I haven't played any Torchlight games, but I am a fan of loot-heavy dungeon crawlers. I think the classic D&D / fantasy "Mimic" would be an ideal loot-delivering pet. A monstrous, living treasure chest hopping with me through a dungeon, with a big mouth of sharp teeth, biting enemies and gobbling up treasures, should exist, if it does not, already.

[@Gameitupchannel]

Having never played a Torchlight game I can confidently say my favourite pet is the Penguin, because penguins are awesome

[@vauhner81]

My favorite pet was always the dog. He reminded me of my dog growing up and I named him the same name. Can’t wait to name another companion after my childhood friend! So happy TL2 is coming to switch! Cheers!

[@otooandoh9556]

I like the wolf in Torchlight because wolves are straight up dope pets

[@garythebard]

My favorite pet is the wolf. It might be cliche - but I love wolves. The reason Siberian Huskies are my favorite dogs are because they resemble wolves. Ergo - the wolf is by far my favorite pet.

[@Griffnix]

Seems like another good Switch port from Panic Button. My favorite Torchlight pet would have to be a tiger. Not just any tiger though but a cub tiger. I always loved tigers and with one by my side and I'd be tearing thought these dungeons.

[@lukecudicio7670]

Honestly just the standard Wolf as a pet always did me back in the day!

[@DLinton]

The unicorn is kinda bright.

[@alexjj]

I still enjoy the cat, as when else do you get to tell a cat what to do and it actually does it! 😸

[@roastmasterg]

Since this is on the Nintendo Switch I would loved to have Bowser as my pet in the game. He'd be one hell of a support character and imagine the price he'd get in the markets. Like who would want to deny Bowser his asking price?

[@DefiedFaith]

Yoshi would be great as well.

[@Borosanac]

@@DefiedFaith I would love that way more than the unicorn!

[@ronaldglenn11]

How about Mario?

[@FoxtaleHi]

And its 60fps. I'm obsessed. I never played an arpg and this is my first. So much fun

[@mrpendent]

I tend to pick the pet according to the character--melee folks get a bulldog, gunfighters get a ferret, mages get an owl, etc.

[@oneproductionman]

The animation of that unicorn is weird lol... I hope they apply a patch for the PC to utilize controller too. Been a fan of this game since 2012 and my carpal tunel is screaming now :D

[@cory7328]

The pets were all pretty sweet! I always tended towards the dog, but I’d love to see something new like monster creatures. Beholders or the such from D&D days. The dog was just an easy fit.

[@Ravenlock]

In the PC version of Torchlight I always went with the Papillon pet (the tiny scruffy dog) because it was modeled after Runic Games' actual office dog, Falcor, and I thought that was a great nod to the team who made the game and their unofficial mascot. (Also, his owner and their PR rep, Wonder Russell, is an awesome human.) So if that's available in the Switch version I'll probably stick with that. If I could have anything, though, I'd want a Mimic, or the Luggage from Discworld - since it basically functions as a companion storage unit anyhow, having it be a literal baggage strikes me as hilarious.

[@Dan.of.the.dungeon]

This channel is magnificent! Informative reviews and great "lists". Perfect for an older gamer with limited time like myself. Thanks fellas, keep up the great work! I didn't have any interest in owning a Switch. We ended up getting one for our youngest, then he wanted a PC for Xmas that year. He didn't even touch the Switch after that. I ended up trying it out and now it's my favorite way to game.

[@Flowerz__]

Daniel Johnson haha wow! Dang kids lol he doesn’t know what he’s missing out on lol. What games have you been playing?

[@oldstuff400]

Great review! I always liked the owl - having a flying pet felt less intrusive on the screen - I just wish it would land on my shoulder ;)

[@IamYasha10]

Great review. Convinced me to buy this game on eshop which is currently on sale. Thank you, as always.

[@x.MaverickHunter.x]

How did you like the game?

[@randalthor6872]

@@x.MaverickHunter.x i'm finally playing it now and it's beautiful! I played the first on PC last year and enjoyed it, but this one is so much better. The story is even more interesting!

[@alopex2882]

​@@randalthor6872did you experience any framedrops?

[@rafael_moreira]

It is a great game. But the fact it doesnt have couch co op, I see no purpose in getting the game, since I prefer playing arpgs on my pc. I know its not the case of most people here, but for me its a no. If they eventually add couch co op, then I will most likely buy it.

[@indieslayer16]

My original playing, back on PC, I just had to go with Panda for my pet. So cute, and so wise. I loved having my Panda following my Berserker around. Quite the pair, they were! Great review, by the way. I am a recent subscriber, but you guys put out some of the best Switch game reviews. Keep it up!

[@kknows1445]

On sale now for £4 in the UK. So obviously I'm watching this to see if it's worth grabbing this one or No.3

[@OldNerdPlayingOldPCGames]

I am strictly PC player, but this really seems great. Thx for video man.

[@SwitchUpYt]

No worries mate. Glen

[@MP-S-TG]

Since it doesn't have to be in the game... i'd love to have Gon from Tekken 3 or... Yoshi! But a fat, round, fluffy unicorn would do just fine as well I guess hehe

[@александроленев-ц4ц]

my favorite pet is a Stag, cause my rus surname "Olenev" in english mean "Deer". so, i can say to my friends like: "dudes, look at me, I'm in the game". so, if my friends look at me like i'm crazy, and stop talking to me, or something similar - it's their business. however, I'm in the game. p.s.: thx for the video

[@Anky1011]

Cat, obviously! On the PC version, I'd always name the cat 'Potato' after my own cat :')

[@GenghisWanghis]

Picked this up on my laptop but just couldn't get into it in the keyboard and my game pad sucked. Been waiting 7-8 years for this to release on a worthwhile console of handheld for my preference. Loved the look and sound of it.

[@Jazzfofunn]

The falcon is the my favorite pet, because he loves me. A lot of the other pets fake their admiration toward you. They will play your heart like a fiddle until each one of your strings buckle and break under the abuse. While the falcon, he is always there for you when the chips are down, like that expired bag of shredded cheese you keep in your refrigerator.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Haha, a very good analogy. Glen

[@giancarlovitali9826]

Would love to see kirby as a pet on the switch! How cool would it be if he could vacuum fools and take their powers!

[@elliottduke7459]

Panda , have you ever heard them sneeze ? Well that's all you need to hear while walking through a monster filled dungeon to brighten up your day.

[@PortableXombie]

Obviously, Glen is my favorite pet.

[@StuffForYouHere]

Gotta be the ferret for me. I love them. I had 2 of them before I moved last year. A friend of mine played this game on the PC awhile back and it was great seeing the ferret running around and attacking things. Made me smile everytime. Glad to see it's returning here

[@IainFarrell]

Best pet? It’s 2019, a portly unicorn has to be the way to go. He’s adorable and I shall name mine Percy 😁 🦄

[@truueindeedi]

On sale right now for 4.99 in the US.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Bargain!

[@grippysquid8479]

I wouldn’t mind a Don Tonberry from Final Fantasy X. Love that little guy‼️

[@TheCorpusDelicti]

I usually prefer the wolf or panther pets, but if I remember right there was a llama or something in TL1? Always liked the inclusion of something different from the norm. Favorite video game pet generally is a bear, though.

[@sima19995]

The Siwtch exclusive Unicorn is just the best pet with the colorful hair and little potions on the side!

[@jonathanm8966]

I’d love a baby skeleton king from Diablo 1 as a homage to the original/greats.

[@dappermii9518]

I like the ferret. The little goggles they put on him crack me up

[@Hosunlee89]

This is crazy. They said they wouldn't port Torchlight 2 to consoles when it first came out. But now it's on the Switch. To be fair, they did port the first game onto the 360, and it was an AMAZING experience. If this is anything like that port, it's a must buy for me.

[@ibo21086]

My favorite pet would've been a fluffy Shiba dog , no enemy will dare to harm it & I'll get the best prices from merchants due to his cuteness. Also will have a ton of laughs from the free memes I get during our journey together.

[@TurboEnzo]

You guys got me playing top downs i used to hate the idea of a game looking like that 🙏

[@PortableXombie]

Excellent review! You guys are kicking butt.

[@donaldshono5762]

I made the mistake of downloading the free Polish Language pack. I saw there was a free download for the game, not reading what it was and downloaded it. Now my game is all in Polish and I can't seem to change it back to English. Does anyone know how or if it is possible to change the game back to English?

[@oo0024]

Big brain 🤓

[@drkrac]

Wolf pet for me. Just seems to fit the rpg aspect of the game the best. Particularly when playing as a berserker.

[@LarryJenkins]

The new Nintendo Switch exclusive unicorn pet would have to be my new favorite, because its NEW. Anyways thanks for the review!

[@RangerofNE]

The unicorn, my daughter loves it and I'd going to want it so bad

[@usaliengames9810]

Mark would be my favourite pet. Picture the treasure goblin in Diablo 3 (but it's Mark with a loot bag!) wearing a SwitchUp official t-shirt scampering toward any dropped loot and giggling, "hee hee!"

[@kevinpolus8151]

After playing 20 hours of torchlight 2, had to come back here and say I'm hooked! Simply gaming hack and slash perfection. Only 20 bucks? Bargain

[@kevinpolus8151]

I'm about 32 hours in. Love the abilities I'm opening. Gotta give it to them, fantastic game!

[@MarceMMAD]

I love the unicorn pet! It's silly but super cute and funny! xD

[@Deathmetal247]

My favorite Pet in Torchlight 2 is the cat.. Why you ask? I am a cat guy!

[@matthewwelsh1908]

Favorite has always been the owl. Felt it fit so well with the Embermage.

[@HeneryUy1010]

My favourite pet is the ferret with the goggles, Coz it is the perfect match with the engineer in terms of fashion and style :)

[@ArturiousV]

I would want a dry bowser/turtle skelly as a pet! It would be a perfect combo of Torchlight and Nintendo goodness!

[@ClockedIt]

Being a massive fan of Diablo 2 and knowing the team that went on to create the Torchlight games after leaving Blizzard; I pumped a stupid amount of hours into this game on PC and would probably do the same on the Switch. Matt Uelmen I utterly love as a composer and his style is all over this game. As for favourite pet, well, you just simply have to have a wolf, because having a wolf as a pet will remind you what humanity has done to dogs and also remind us why we should have kept them as wolves and not bred them into Chihuahuas! Haha! Great review boys.

[@thebrycerodgers]

I really wish Midna (Twilight Princess) would be added as a pet. Always such a fascinating Zelda character to me, and the wolf would fit nicely. Great video!

[@20chruiz]

Bought this on sale for 14 dollars and, wow! It's been a pleasant surprise. I'm really enjoying the challenging bosses and addicting loot rewards. Upgrading your character is also enjoyable. Can't wait for torchlight 3 now.

[@itchydez]

How did you find TL3?

[@20chruiz]

@@itchydez Honestly saw the bad reviews at launch and skipped it. Started playing Diablo 3 instead.

[@Gunplabro]

Ferret is the best pet. Picked this up for 6 dollars. I had no idea this was on switch. Had it on PC for years. A very fun RPG.

[@ryan580]

My favourite pet would be the 'Chakawary' it seems to be the least used by people I've watched and my friends. It's a fantasy style game and yet everyone seem to go for something traditional, I like to break the norm!! Plus I'm a lizard kinda guy! Thanks for the opportunity and great review

[@tiggertail]

Alpaca(Lama) is my favorite pet in Torchlight 2. Her name was Darling as I name most of my pets this way. In ESO I own a camel by the same name. I also own a camel in Conan Exiles but her name is Carmel. I do love Lamas and Camels for some unknown reason but Lamas are way more cute and fluffy and the bangs on the Alpaca are absolutely adorable. Great review on the game and deffinitely I am looking forward to play it on the switch with a controller! Thank you.

[@TheSteamyPickle]

Great review. I am sad about the lack of couch co-op too. When I played on the PC back in the day I would always pick the ferret. It was a nice reminder of a pet gone but not forgotten. RIP. Also it was cool to see you guys come up first on a google search for the game review.

[@marlowencna]

Fair review! The score is just right. TL2 has extreme replay value, glad the port was excellent.

[@Magneto2099]

I love the hawk!! Love seeing it fly around and grab loot!!

[@rosswilson4918]

The cat! Just like my cat, it’s always off doing cat business, then shows up just a little after you really need her.

[@xelthos2051]

Loved these on the PC back in the day. Almost hope they port Fate to the switch as well now.

[@TheBlackshear]

Id have to say the Ferret was my favorite pet. What better to take all my unused loot back to town. If I could have 2 I'd name them Kodo and Podo like from Beastmaster. Anyway, glad the simplified the UI. Great video!

[@Borosanac]

The cat has to be my favorite. If a game has a cat pet I have to have it. I always name it Miso after my own pet. This way, both of us play together. :)

[@silverbane8065]

Then your cat is in stardew valley lol. Miso is the default cat name for the little ginger tabby cat you get if you pick cat over dog as the pet and I always leave that name when I play.

[@Borosanac]

That's so cool but actually it's name is Mišo. I usually just write it as Miso.

[@hopelessmind21]

So you can play as unicorn with a gunslinger pet now. Splendid.

[@mightyigrek]

From the existing pets my favorite is Ferret. It just looks so cute with goggles and backpack. Perfect pet for an engineer. But I think that for the Switch version they could make a better job with the exclusive pet. In Rayman Legends they added Mario and Luigi skins. In Torchlight 2 they could add a Gumba pet. With backpack! That would be my favorite :)

[@davie1537]

Favourite pet? Can you imagine a Switchup pet. Our own little Mark and Glen running around reviewing the AI in torchlight. It would be like an easy mode! Your reviews of them would be so good they would feel complimented and they wouldn’t bother attacking! Then you whip out the Go Fishing review and boom! Their heads explode! Keep up the good work guys!!

[@SwitchUpYt]

hahaha it sounds a glorious prospect! Mark

[@nickh3922]

Favorite pet would have to be the new unicorn. They not only added it as a switch exclusive but they made it a giant fat unicorn. You have to love the fat unicorn.

[@CUPaJ0]

A great pet for torchlight II would be a twilight princess inspired wolf! Give him the link hat for good measure

[@roughreviews6661]

Definately ferret is my fav the way he moves is just awesome it makes me smile everytime i boot it up love ya guys keep up the great work and awesome comtent

[@liamlipsky3883]

My favorite pet would either have to be the badger (because of the memes, obviously) or the panda because they're one of my favorites. I love how oblivious pandas can be.

[@viralium104]

A Blink Dog, from D&D, would be an awesome pet, since it can teleport themselves and other creatures at will and is capable of understanding speech. Actually, a Blink Cat would be better, 'cause cats make you work for their affection. (Animals with superpowers are awesome.)

[@shyguy2046]

Awesome review !!! Without a doubt Panther is my favorite pet. Also have a panther tattoo on my left underarm. (Love big cats)

[@rikatoathena7018]

Best games on Nintendo swich Torchlight 👍

[@Matrunks]

my favorite pet was always a aspider, creepy, deadly and awesome. of coarse i had to use a fish to change it, but i always made sure i found it.

[@SuperHydroThunder]

I played Torchlight 1 like crazy on my 360, and play it often even now on Xb1. The game is a really good console dungeon crawler. Even though I've only played the PC demo of TL2, I am not a PC gamer and prefer consoles. As such, I am OVERJOYED that someone brought TL2 to the Switch!! What happened to Runic Games, the original developer? I hope they're all doing well; they made one of my absolute favorite video games of all time (and I've been an avid gamer since the Atari 2600).

[@Gettaefok]

I love the unicorn pet "so cute" reminds me of Despicable me.

[@ninegraves]

But that butt *lol - arent unicorns supposed to be somewhat, umm, slim ? xD

[@johnathanedwards3601]

A chocobo would be the most awesome pet ever to have in this game.

[@Levi-bg1sc]

I think my favorite pet is the unicorn because it reminds me of borderlands where Handsome Jack had a unicorn ^-^

[@kyoj1n386]

I've always used the panther because of L.L. Cool J's "Walking With A Panther". I am so glad I get to play this again. The switch version is so good to me.

[@EgmaHearti]

My ideal pet would be a family of 7 rabbits, each with a various sized saddlebag for the town trips. As they get injured (assuming the pets can get injured in this game?) this would be visually represented by certain rabbits falling over and being tossed on the backs of the ones still standing. Individual customization would of course be available for each rabbit but everyone would just make them look like the Watership Down guys.

[@ughaghost]

I finished Torchlight 1 with the dog as a pet. Can't go wrong with a dog, they're loyal and sweet.

[@jeywig]

Never played torchlight but from what I have seen, I think the unicorn is pretty cool. I like the color it provides to the game. It’s a nice contrast to the games’ esthetic

[@ikkeson]

My preferred pet would be Dave, 1 of the Minions in the Minions films. Every now and the Dave starts talking or dancing or singing. At the end of the great finale he and the rest of the Minions perform Y.M.C.A from The Village People as a easter egg hidden in the game.

[@AllieStrange]

Honestly the new rainbow unicorn pet is my favorite, rainbows and unicorns what not to love heh.

[@richkavanagh2778]

This looks right up my street.. I'll grab this at the end of the month. Great review as always Glen 👍

[@jumperjax]

Dogs are always my favorite pets! In real life and in games :)

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz9]

Me too 🥰

[@TheAwesomeTouch]

As tribute they should have put Reggie as a pet, just imagine a small little Reggie fighting hordes of Blackclaws, I'd love to see that.

[@duncanbrown9112]

Wolf link would be amazing as a pet in this game

[@themarzipanster2190]

Great review as ever. Favourite Pets are always going to be the ferret and the panther as both always remind me of the film Beastmaster. For anybody who hasn't seen that classic they painted a tiger black as they were easier to train than Panthers.

[@ChickenPerm]

ugh why do you have to make such great reviews!?

[@jipiboily]

The Panda! I had done the game with him on PC again last year. I don't know, he looks chill and relaxing :)

[@FlamingQueen666]

That rainbow Unicorn is cute but the best pet is a pug
